The case isn't about not serving gays because they're gay, but not serving a cake for a gay wedding since gay weddings are against their moral principles. If the baker refused service because of them being gay then that won't pass muster but the question is can you force some one to provide a service to a function against your moral values.

This is correct. If I am remembering correctly, the bakery had served them before on several occasions. It was the wedding cake that they refused based upon their religion. So they were not refusing based on their sexuality, since they had served them before.
